摘要：INTRODUCTION: High-quality chest compressions as a basic measure of the revival of the heart aims to ensure continued flow of blood through the body and maintains the function of vital organs . Maintaining the circulation can be performed by manual and mechanical chest compression, using AUTOPULSE and LUCAS. Autopulse is used in the emergency department since 2008. OBJECTIVE: To show the advantage of mechanical compression of the thorax in relation to manual. RESULTS: Mechanical CPR increases the quality of the compression, allows continuous compression, as the duration of the compression and decompression, and thus provides a greater flow of blood to the brain and heart. It offers the same quality for all patients over time, regardless of traffic conditions, fatigue or experience of the person performing compressions. Mechanical CPR allows defibrillation during compression of the heart, replacing one member of the team and the possibility of compression during transport. The application of mechanical chest compression is contraindicated in children, pregnant women, trauma and extremely obese patients. Manual and also automatic compression of the thorax leads to complications such as fracture of the last ribs, fractured vertebrae, and skin abrasions and so on. CONCLUSION: The use of mechanical chest compression achieves better quality in reanimation. Great importance is that it can be used during transport of the patient, and that it can replace one member of the team during performing CPR.
